My Sweet Things

McDaniel Farm Park Edition

McDaniel Farm is located on 134 acres and it has been restored to depict a typical 1930’s farm in Gwinnett County. The farmhouse itself is furnished with items that might have been  found in a home during that time period. There is a barn, blacksmith shed, carriage and tenant house. The park area offers 3 miles of paved and soft surface trails. There is a pavilion, grill and restrooms available as well. This is one of the loveliest parks I have been to and it’s located less than 10 minutes from my home. Sweet! My husband was out of town this weekend and Saturday was a gorgeous day so I packed up and headed out to the farm.

My traveling companion. Pumpkin Spice Latte. So good!

McDaniel Farm House. Eight family members lived in this tiny place.

If you are out in the Gwinnett County area, McDaniel Farm Park is a lovely location for an afternoon picnic. It would also make a terrific location for a photography session. I did see a photographer setting up with a client when I was on my way out.

Criminal Records Edition

Yesterday I participated in Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk at the Little Five Points location in Atlanta. One of my stops along the way included Criminal Records. This place is an awesome shop filled with Vinyl Records, comic books, DVD’s , magazines and so much more. This place brought back many memories of when I was a teenager and shopped in record stores and back then it was about vinyl and cassette’s  baby!

This awesome store may be shutting down after 20 years of business.  It is sad to see yet another independent record store closing due to the shift toward digital music. I am hanging on to my vinyl and those cassette’s too!
